PHILADELPHIA -- Gloucester County's El Wingador, Bill Simmons, took third place in the Wingbowl here today and said he's going to be just a spectator in the future.

Simmons, 46, of Woodbury Heights, said he beat his own personal record, but the 205 wings he ate just weren't enough.

Joey Chestnut, 24, of California, gulped his way to the Wingbowl title, eating 241 wings to take first place. Chestnut is 6-feet, 1-inch tall and weights 225 pounds.

Second place went to Randall Patrick Bertoletti, 22, of Chicago. The 195-pounder, who is 6-feet, 2-inches tall, managed to eat 227 wings.

Julio Davila, El Zorro, from Vineland, didn't make it out of the first round of competition. One of his friends said El Zorro was maybe intimidated by the sellout crowd and that he might come back to the competition next year.

"I'm not coming back," said former champ Simmons. "I'm going on a diet at noon today. I plan to enjoy the Wingbowl from the stands from now on."
